AB OBJECTIVE: AIDES Association -main community-based organisation in
France- hoped to set up a cooperation project to help mobilize efforts
to fight AIDS in a country where citizens had no practice of being
actors in the face of a problem, through solidarity between infected
people in France and in Poland. METHOD: Send to Poland a delegation made
up of people living with HIV, of health professionals belonging to the
Association and of one of the founders of CRISTIANS AND AIDS France, to
1. find out what were the health, religious, political and press
structures and individuals mainly involved in the fight against AIDS and
discuss with them the needs of infected people and the obstacles met in
the setting up of support structures, 2. meet the representatives of the
Health Authorities in the country, 3. present the Polish public with the
findings of the delegation at a Press Conference. RESULTS: two
representatives of the hardest hit communities came to France to receive
volunteer training at AIDES Association and a physician was offered a
month training at the Pasteur Hospital in Paris, a community-based
Organization Stowarzyszenie Wolontarinszy wobec AIDS BADZ'Z NAMI
(Association of Volunteers against AIDS BE WITH US) was set up in
Warsaw, with branches in Dansk and Wroclaw, medium term cooperation
between AIDES Association (France) and BE WITH US (Poland). CONCLUSION:
this mission was able to trigger a spirit of mobilization and potentiate
solidarity and exchanges between people living with HIV, as actors in
the fight against AIDS in their own country and not just receivers of
compassionate humanitarian help; it showed that it is possible with
limited means to set up efficient models of mobilization and cooperation
between community-based organizations, and that those can be reproduced:
a similar request was addressed to AIDES Association by the Russian
Association NOI I VOI (YOU AND US) during a first encounter in Paris.
